There is more Catarrh in this
section of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be in
curable. For a groat many years
doctors prouounoed it a locbl disease,
and prescribed local remedies, ami by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Soience has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and requires
codstitntional treatment. Hali’s Ca
tarrh Cure manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Cos:, Toledo, Ohio is the
only constitutional cure on the mar
ket- It is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to a teaspoon fill. It
acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollar for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars aad
testimonials- Address,

tho Farmars to Liuino Garden Product#.
“My firm,” said Mr. O. L. Stamps,
"dogs an annual business in produce of
|85,000. The bulk of it is shipped to us
from out of tho state. Louisiana, Ala
bama, Tennessee, Virginia, Ohio, Mich
igan, Indiana and New York find a
splendid market among tho commission
men of the city.
Those states sell us with a profit the
prcduco of their soil. New York ship*
to Atlanta thousands of barrels pf Irish
potatoes, and receives a good prioe for
them. Tennosseo also ships us large
quantities of potatoes. Cabbage comes
to tis at this season of the year from
N*w Orleans and around Mobile, AH.
Burly ft tho your we jfvt eabbage
from Virgin but the snunly I'. -re H
always exhausted V.y this X .e. Later
hi the spring Florida will snip larye
quantities o' cabbage to us, Noe'r'y all
of our butter comes from oast Tennes
soo, as do our chickens and eggs. North
Georgia supplies tho Atlanta .market
with a fair per cent of tho last two
items. Onions ws get from New York,
in the main. Georgia pretty well sup
plies the market with sweet potatoes.”
"Lint & Lovelace,” said Mr. Doolit
tle, their bookkeeper, “have a large
trade in the various articles of country
produce you have mentioned. Tho
amount, of course, varies during the
year, according to tho season. 1 have
been figuring ior two days on the busi
ness if a:mat a year and a half, and
Lave hero tin figures of an avonge
month’s busin.su. Mora than 75 pjr
cent of tho produce comes from other
s?.itea than Georgia. Nearly all of the
butter and eggs we handle come from
cast Ttttmwiioa. 1 calculate timt in,a
month wo handle Juso vrortli of chick

200 worth in a month. Tho money ior
them goes to the east. The sweet pota
toes wo handle wouldn’t exosod (ICO in
a month.”

Prodfi •; company. ‘>Sd that oat of •

ginia ami New Grimms held the cab
bage market, and east Tonnasseo had a
corner on butter, except what was sold
by the north Georgia farmers.
“Warsaw, Tenn.," said Mr. E. 3.
Stanley, one of the city’s best known
commission men, “furnishes many At
lanta merchants with batter and egga
,-ad chickens. This is a thriving town,
to judge from its daily shipments to tho
commission men of Atlanta.”
“My firm,” said Mr. Fatty, of Potty
Brothers, did a business Inst year of
£85,000. Nearly the whole of it was in
articles of country produce. Wo got
butter from east Tennessee, from Chi
cago and from the mountain ooanties of
Georgia. Yes, the Chicago butter is
fairly good if wo get it in time. It is
creamery butter. We ship Irish pota
toes from New York. Cabbage comes
from Mobile, Ala., Louisiana and Vir
ginia. Onions are shipped to us from
Ohio. Georgia supplies us with tur
nips and sweet potatoes.”
Practically tho samo story is told by
all of the commission men. Of course
tho aggregate amount of their monthly
sales differ in amount, but their sales
represent the samo percentage of de
mand for the products mentioned. They
are articles found upon every table. The
demand for them, of coarse, comes from
tho people through tho retail grocery
men, whom tho wholesale commission
men supply. Those representative firms
quoted give some idea of the volume of
business done by the commission trade
of the city. As can be seen, thousands
of dollars pass through its channels
weekly. The bulk of the money goes
cut of the state.
If thero is any practical suggestion in
this commercial side light it is this,
that hero a fine opportunity is offered to
th. productive class of Georgians.
Hero is a ready, anxious, profitable
market for articles of produce that ev
6ry Georgia farm can produce abuy.
